Storm Paddles

Storm paddles are available with all the same options as standard Greenland paddles.

 

Prices starting as low as $160.00 (USD)

The storm paddle what the Greenlanders call the short paddle, is used as an alternative to the "long " paddles in windy conditions. when using the short paddle as sliding stroke is employed. this keep the off water end of the paddle from catching as much wind.

Today many kayakers use a storm paddle as their back up paddle and it is not uncommon to see folks with a euro blade in hand and a storm paddle on the front deck in easy reach when needed
 
The storm paddle when compared to the touring paddle has about the same blade length and width. It is in the loom that a storm paddle is shorter. The width of the loom on a storm paddle is one to two fist widths, making the storm paddle no more then  6' in length.
  With that said, I recommend that you order a storm paddle that fits on you front deck where you can use it.. as a result you may want a paddle as short 5' to 5'6".
